🚨 Petition Update: Exposing Institutional Abuse in Queensland
Recent revelations about the CFMEU's Queensland branch have laid bare a culture of intimidation, threats, and harassment. An explosive report found officials using coercive tactics — including statements like “we know where you live” and “there’s a bullet with your name on it” — to manipulate and silence public servants, workplace health inspectors, and even families. These acts were not isolated—they were strategic abuses of power targeting those who dared to stand for safety and fairness.
Barrister Geoffrey Watson SC stated that the CFMEU intended to inflict physical, sexual, emotional, and economic abuse in pursuit of political and financial dominance. These findings mirror broader patterns of systemic bullying and misconduct that this petition was created to confront.
This isn't just a union issue — it's a wake-up call for our institutions. Abuse wrapped in influence must never be normalized.
✅ I call on our government to:
Conduct transparent and independent investigations into all forms of systemic abuse
Enforce strict accountability for misconduct—regardless of political or industrial affiliations
Protect the rights and safety of all Australians, especially those who challenge corruption
It's time to stand united. If our systems allow threats and intimidation to flourish unchecked, we lose not just trust, but humanity.
